Ah well, we have the following cache control options:

cacheonly: returns an error if not in cache
cache: returns from cache, connects to network if not in cache
verify: [default] verifies with network if found in cache, connects to 
network if not in cache.

See http.cc:2180. We just need to make it possible to configure the default 
then. This might be a nice job for someone who wants to start coding for 
konqueror.

Cheers,
Waldo
